Beaverbrook Navigation Training Thursday Orienteering Practice
April 12th 2018 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Map: Beaverbrook
This is the first technical (navigation) training session of the spring season.
Parking: Mlacak Centre 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata
Meeting point: We will be meeting at the back of the parking lot right of the Mlacak Centre - look for the club banner.
Training: The training exercise is a series of loops - there are 5 loops starting with a 1km intermediate loop and gradually getting longer and more challenging and ending with a 3.2 km sprint-style course. You can choose which course you want to start with and how many you want to do. The focus of the exercise is doing 'the basics' (whatever that means for you) really really well as we haven't orienteering since the fall so this is a reintroduction to your good navigation habits.
The courses pass through a mix of forest and urban terrain. Control locations will be marked by pin flags in the terrain.
A reminder to please e-mail Jeff Teutsch at programs@ottawaoc.ca by noon on Thursday to reserve a map. We do not guarantee maps for those that don't send an e-mail but will have extra maps this weeks as this is the first training session of the spring season.
